APIs are everywhere these days, powering your favorite websites and mobile applications. APIs are great for integrating and updating data in a more streamlined way and can be made relatively easily with the right resources.  While using an API may seem like a daunting task, it can be as simple as visiting a website.  

In this seminar, we'll learn about what APIs are available, both within the MIT community, and in the larger Internet.  Techniques for integrating these APIs into your websites or other projects will be discussed, and some sample code will be provided.  If time permits, we'll also talk a bit about how you would go about writing your own API to make your data or service available to the larger MIT community.
